THE RIOTS IN TEHRAN

by Anthony Rodgers (not verified) on Sun Jun 21, 2009 05:46 AM PDT

Sad to say, I think there are many lies coming out of Iran at the moment. I have many Iranian friends here in the U.K. They think the same. The west should not interfere in this situation. I have friends in Iran and yes I fear for their safety, But, Not at the hands of the Iranian Government, But at the hands of the rioters. I ask myself also, Are these riots being encouraged by the west, Is there Western influence in Iran. I want to see my friends return home safe. I want to see these riots topped at any cost. The rioters are using violence so this is the only way to control them. We in the west are hearing far too many lies.
